Pages won't open in Lion

Wonderful

Now that there are 17 messages in the thread we know what you are trying to run.

iWork '09 version 9.0.3 is obsolete from Lion point of view.

Go to :

http://support.apple.com/downloads/#iWork

Download one of the two updated pointed by a yellow arrow.

Both would build a version compatible with Lion.

If you left the applications where they were installed and must stay : the folder Applications:iWork '09,

these updaters will apply.

It's really boring to be forced to ask the normal informations required to be able to give an accurate answer.

These required informations are :

the exact version of the operating system (you wrote that it's 10.7.2)

the exact version of the used application.

Helpers (which are end users like you) aren't sooth sayers, they can't guess what you are using.

Giving accurate and precise infos help us to give an accurate answer very quickly.

When the infos aren't given, everybody is wasting time.

I wasted sufficient time here and now, it's late. I will not explain in details why the infos must be accurate.

Replies like this one you just gave are certainly uncalled for when you were the one that kept posting all the wrong information.

I am totally surprised that Koenig stuck with you as long as he did. It was above beyond as far I can see.

After 17 messages we know (at last) that

the operating system is 10.7.2

that the app was a component of the iWork package

that the source is the DVD version 9.0.3

We don't know for sure if it's this version which is failing or if the OP applied updater(s).

It's really easy to get the information :

menu > Pages > About Pages

Sometimes I'm wondering it the users configuration is a secret protected by the FBI and the CIA 😟

Yes, there was a specific update of Keynote (version 5.1.1)

Is it really so difficult to go to the menu Pages > About Pages to get … at last … a precise and accurate information ?

Do you have Pages in its iWork '09 folder in the Application folder? If so select it and press Cmd + I to get the information window. Here you can see the version. While you are answering can you tell us how you bought iWork/ Pages. Downloaded or on a CD?

Hello fruhulda

as I posted some mtimes ago,

After 17 messages we know (at last) that

the operating system is 10.7.2

that the app was a component of the iWork package

that the source is the DVD version 9.0.3

We know also that Keynote received the very late update bringing it to version 5.1.1

One do get lost when it is so many postings. We still doesn't know which version on Pages is in the computer, do we?

The best solution would be to uninstall the iWork package and then install it again and do the updates.

It has helped before!

Hello fruhulda

As the OP seems unable to know what her machine did, the fact that Keynote is in version 5.1.1 on the machine make me think that the updater 9.1 was applied but I hate to work upon guesses.

For sure, a good protocol would be :

download my uninstaller:

For_iWork:iWork '09:uninstall iWork '09.zip

apply it

install iWork '09 version 9.0.3 from the DVD

download and apply the updater 9.1

http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1097

download and apply the updater dedicated to Keynote to bring it in version 5.1.1

http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1477

After that, it would be good to use MAINTENANCE 1.5.0 available from :

http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php

or Onyx 2.4.2 from the same Web site.

Apply the features checked in the screenshot posted above

Run also FontBook to check the fonts installed and repair problems if some are striking.

This scheme was described several times but it seems that some users are unable to look in existing threads.

For iWork's applications dedicated to iOS, go to :

https://discussions.apple.com/community/app_store/iwork_for_ios

Yes, that describes the whole procedure and catches most problems too.
